A few reasons Wliy .we have sold over GO of the New Lyman
•vstoves this season:
It is more safe than any other stove; because its burners
will never puff or pop out and leak gasoline. ;>■
It'is more convenient, because all the burners are arranged
to be lighted, and turned off, from one point and from one
lighting cup. and the stove can be at all times ready for im-
mediate use by simply turning on the gas.
It is more economical, from the fact that, its construction
admits of a large volume of air being commingled with the
gas before combustion takes place and the burners, when not
actually in use, may be entirely extinguished and yet be iu
readiness to light as soon as needed.
It is more cleanly, because only one lighting cup is used and
no soot is.deposited upon any part of the burners—a reputa-
tion which this stove alone enjoys.
It is more durable, because the generator is made extra
heavy and strong and the valves being so constructed that
gasoline cannot come in contact with their threaded parts,
the stove cannot leak or Cause an odor While standing unused.
It has the best looking and best made frame of any on the
market. Sold only in Elgin by

New Yokk, .June 17.—(iencral Grant
passed a restless night, Monii&y, and in the
inoi uiing looked much. depressed and
emaciated. The Reparations for his trip
to Mount MacGrtgor had all been made.
ITIiijre was a subdued manner and an aj>-
pearancc of sadness manifested l-»y all the
members of the family and household Mon-
day as the arrangements for the departure
were proceeded with. The thought of the
probability that the .General might
licit return alive to ' his old home,
though it found 110 expression 011 the part
of! any one, was evidently present in the
minds of all, and when evening came and
cheery conversation was indulged in. Gen.
Grant was no longer heart!, and his
expressive countenance showed how keen-
ly tie felt the Toss of his power to
articulate. It was. ..with dilliculty
that siuflicient Sfilf-'coinmand - could
be obtained to suppress a Mow. of tears.
There was an unotlieial expression of opin-
ion Monday by one of tlie.Geneial's physi-
cians that the removal of Gen.' Grant
"might prove disastrous to him and hasten
his-deatlr should the weather prove cold on
the mountain.
Willi a 111 II.- VaiulerbUt's private car was
the last of three which 'made rip the special
train which \va> to convey .Genoral 'Grant
to Mount MacGregor. General 'Grant ar-
r'ivecl aii the depot about nine oVjo'-lc-, and
at once;!, entered tiie Viniderbilt 'car and.
took hps seat on a; swfa. With his
own lands lie adjusted: his woolen
skull eaip, and ilrow closer the neck scarf,
so as to conceal the ugly swelling that,
tilled (jlut the riirht side of his neek even
with lifs ear. The heavy dra]>ery Iwas so
arranged so as.-to prevent any drairght.s
from reaching the sick man. Mrs. Grant
sat: at the < SenerylV right hand,
and he was ever under' her watchful
eyes. The ride through , the tunnel" in
the.city 1 was the worst that w';>s to be
expected during the entire trip. The sharp
curves sjhook the car a little, but the cafe of
the engineer prevented, any, shaking that
could disturb the' General./"1 Mrs. Fred
Grant, ^Irs. Ulysses (Irant tilitl Mrs. Sar-
foris were also in the car. whilej-the chil-
dren of the household were under the care
of Colonel Fred Grant, in. a forward car.
About 10 o'clock General Grant turned a
little in his chair, -in order that he might
command a better view of the west bank of
the rivfcr; lie wanted to gain 1 a glimpse of
West .Point as the train flurried oil. The
scenery was growing very familiar', to the
sick man. Scenes of his cadetship were
coining to view, and at length at 10 :15,when
the quarters at West Point came into view,
the General nodded across the river, and
again faintly- smiled as Mrs. Grant glanced
across at him to see if he was noting the
point they were passing. fSlie sniiledjas he
nodded, j'l'lie ladies hurried to the river-
side of the car to watch, and Colonel Fred,
(iiant pointed out a pile-of rocks, which he
had heard his father mention in 'telling his.
swimming adventures of his.West Point
days. The General spoke 110 word, but fol-
lowed the scene with his eyes.' looking rear-
ward tinUfcWest Point was shut out from
view by a curve in the road.
Once tlu': General pointed' tii a residence
on the wvst bank of the river, ami, leaning
toward Colonel .'Fred Grant, lit' attempted
to speak aiiii tell hint it was the house of a
friend, at which In particular he "had been
entertained, but, so weak was his voice
that the General could not make himself
heard. Dr. Douglas requested him not to
make any- effort, to speak, and bade him
write what he had to say. which tin; Gen-
eral did. At twelve o'clock Dr. I'ouglas
said: "I have made no'ctlorr to feel -his
pulke. i could not do so while tile
train is iy motion, iltj js showing less fa-
tigue tiiain might, have been expected. I am
•anxions to reach the mountai-n. so .that 1 can
clear his throat of this'diist, whicli is trying
to him. 11 le is. feeling the- heat,- but ..his
strength is holding put remarkably -well."
Albany was passed at l"i:■-(), 'when the
General was given |iis liquid food; At 1;52
o'clock, tliie train dashed into Saratoga,
where a great crowd was in Waiting. Post
Wheeler, G. A./lt., in full uniform, greeted
its old c«nimandtr, and - stood guard while
the transfer was being made; At tiiis point
the Mount McGregor .Road runs parallel
Willi the New York- Central, so' that the
General simply stepped;.from the platform
of one ear to that of another, and, in a few
minutes the Mount McGregor special began
pulling away up the long hill. :
At several stations "between Tarry town
and Saratoga great crowds of people greeted
tlje General! with cheers,, to which he made
acknowledgment by waving his hand and
smiling..
The "climb up the mountain side was made
in three-qiiarters of an hour, ami sit '3:40
o'clock, after live hours and fortyM.nmutes
journeying. General Grant arrived hit the
summit of Mount McGregor. T|>.! top of
the car-steips was t!u«h with iliu
1'ork, and before any on- ■"n(,w ot-'"]'iis
intention, tlig t >;'iei;ti stepped oil' and
started u.:;i the hill toward the Drexel cot-
tage, fourHiu.ndruit yards away. A rustic
wooden awning covered the plank walk,
and at the end was a ! rudely-painted wood-
en sign bearing the legend: "Welcome to
Our Hero—-1-SH5—1S&V Borne alonur by

tottered for about, one hundred feet
up the steep path. Then lie, wavered a
moment and stood still. Detective Fryer,
of Saratoga, was close by with a rattan
chair, and the General sank. 01; rather fell
hacfc into'it. The effort to make the ascent
had exhausted him. Constable Minnick
and Mr. Fryer each took hold of a side of
the cllair and carried the 1 in-valid up
to the honsc. The moment they sat
down their burden the General
sprang from his seat and walked lirinly
up the flight of ten steps, with tlie sole
assistance of his cane. • lie sat down gasp-

yesterday. Jhe sum of SI0,5 a ; pictur-
esque well, with a long sweep, while the
miniature hills and valleys between are all
covered with a carpet of velvety grass. The
trees which dot the landscape here and there
are trained with the greatest precision,
each twig and branch being at tho stiffest
angle possible. A couple of gardeners were
busy all day at a pine tree, tying up
tory branches that would grow na
refrac-
turally
with stout" cords and even trimming the
needles to tho proper angle. .The men at
work placing new squares of sod 'on parts
where the velvety carpet was worn secured
the sods with wooden pegs until they should
have taken root.
THE HOT BATHS.
The baths, supplied with water frdm the
geyser, whose medicinal qualities |tre so
highly spoken of, are situated iu a corridor
at the back of the house, where the water is
conducted through bamboo pipes to the re*
ceptacles sunk in the floor of e ich| apart-
ment and is constantly flowing. At stated
intervals—namely, 6 and 10 a. in., 3j and 9
p. m—the geyser is in action, wl ion jai por-
tion of the ~ immense volume Of boiling
water, which bursts with a dull roar and
terrific force ifroin the rocks, is cor ducted to
reservoirs in the bath-rooms, to be turned
on at pleasure.
The guests, arrayed in the fantastic bath-
ing uniform of the house, are constantly
skipping in and out of the baths, looking
like boiled lobsters as they emerge from
baths which would be simply unendurable
to Europeans; It is rather a melancholy
sight to watch the bathers as they tramp
to the baths. Indeed, it reminds one uf the
sacred story of the pool of Bethesda, whither
the sick and suffering flocked for'healing—
the gaunt bodies and sunken cheeks of some,
the hollow coughs of others - with flaming
death signals on heir cheeks, not to: speak
of the many lame and halt for whelm the
waters are supposed to work wonders.;
• H.KASUHE-SEEKERS. ' j
Besides invalids, however, are some who
have come for change or pleasure and who
have 110 sign of declining health. Among
those is a stout, jolly bank presidentin the
corner rooirj, who dresses in bright yellow
silk and wanders about all day in search of
a kindred spirit with whom to cra«j:k a joke.
He pokes his stubby nose into the kitchen to
have a laugh at the maids; he wanders from
room to room stirring up the invalids and
helping the hearty to pass away ,thei time,
else he is in the garden swinging thi children
or quizzing the good-natured gardeners.
Hearing that foreigners had arrived at the
hotel, he sent'word to us that he was dying
of ennui, and begged that we wpuld| take
pity 011 him and allow him to come and see
us to keep.him alive a few day* longer!
The baby of the house quite electrifljss the
guests, both native and foreign, by rushing
up to each onp crying rapturously, "Papal
Papa!" having learned that one English
word. It is needless to say that the fat old
gentleman and the baby are the best of
friends. j •
- SOMB DRAWBACKS TO PLEASURE;
At night, when you ha-*e settled 'down
comfortably 011 your wooden block-of a
pillow, and having =; closed . ydur jeyes.
rosolutoly determine not to be disturbed by
the noise. during a lull in the Bab«l around
you, a sepulchral voice in the passage,
just outside the paper partition of 'iyour
room, utters a sound which send
the blood back to your heart and gives a
feeling of rising capillaries all over iyour
much-enduring frame. Raising yoUrs^lf on
your elbow and poering into the darkness,
you tremulously ask, "Dare?" (Who i'S it?)
and, instead of one of the ghouh which
haunt-Japanese folk-lore;- you receivelari-
ply to the elfcct that tho 'blind man; who
practices massago has come and is willing to
render his services for the modest suiu of
"san ju rhou," or 30 cash. His services,
however, are not required. If yon should
change your mind and employ him lie would,
beside other valuable information, tell; you
how many more bones the Japanese frame
contains than the foreign, and throw In
gratis a great deal of gossip or talcs About
friends of his who were bewitched by foxes.
Having become happily rid of thisi nui-
sance you are dropping into a pleasant doze,
when—clap! goes 'something just at your
head, and you start up again, wid i awake
at once, to tliui a brilliant light shining
through the partitions and a rigorous
clapping going on. It takes some time to
realise that it is only the night-watchman
with his wooden clappers and his laiitern,
and by the time you are fully aroused his
clapping is heard in a distant part of tho
building, where he is. waking some Other
poor victims.
A Fnneral In St. Paul's.
ILondon Letter.]
A funeral in St Paul's cathedral is not
only a rare event, but it is also an exceed-
ingly costly honor. The fees paid by the
corporation of London for burying the late
lord mayor iu the cathedral were about
$5,000. When a royal funeral takesjplaqe
at Windsor, the preliminary foe tflj the
dean and chapter "for break ng the
ground" is $1,0J0. This item is tjhe more
unreasonable inasmuch as the royal vault is
not under St George's chapel, ind
ground is broken, the only disturbance
being the removal of a certain slab oin the
floor of the choir in order that t;ae coffin
may bo lowered into the vault beneath,
whence it is wheeled along a passage to the
royal tomb-house^ underneath the Albert
